The usual Subaru stuff I'm afraid.
4k ish for the first 1000 miles, without labouring the engine, the cars come with a thinner 'running in' oil.
Use decent fuel. I'm not sure what the current thinking is with regard to WRXs, but I would think that SUL would be a good idea.

Best idea is 1000 miles (ish) then get the oil changed.
After the service, don't thrash it. Gradually build it up past the 4K range.
Heard a few bad stories about flooring it just after a service. Don't go straight for 8K in 3rd, or things could go pear shaped.
Give it another 500 miles before you really go for it.
